Yes its pretty hard to know the atlas tree exists since you get a point for completing every map up to 136 or w/e the cap is now.

Who could have unearthed this elusive and hard to figure out feature that points are given to you immediately after finishing the campaign and not after "Finish 10 Tier 1 Maps"

Talismans are not in the game anymore
Harvest seeds do not exist, harvest jice exists and has its own stash are on the currency tab. You can do everything from your hideout now since you dont setup the garden (so hard & and i know you dont know that)
Transfigured gems come from Lab, they fit neatly into the gem tab and are an issue because why?
Oils have a tab and are the same as Distilled Ire, etc. (was that hard to figure out in PoE2?)
There are more obscure boss frags in PoE2
Scarabs are easy to use, easy to read and easy to sell and easy to stor ein a tab
tattoo's? Really? Oh no I got some from a ship i guess im paralyzed in frustration

This sounds like a low IQ issue to me more then anything. Yes the new player experience in PoE 2 much better and that mostly because of the new skill gem system. The rest of the experience is worse sorry.

Its EA bro as the game has been in development for 6 years.

What a joke

I used altas points obviously (up to T15) and looked at guides and tutorials. I have some of those tabs depending on which leagues I played but not all of them. The use of some items being easy doesn't stop it being inventory bloat.

You don't have a high IQ because you obsessively played one game and know the mechanics in detail.

I just gotta say, if they bag PoE1 I am not entirely sure what I am going to do.

If PoE2 scavenged PoE1's endgame, it could be salvageable, but the entire PoE2 game is a LONG way from a finished product. The map layouts are, quite literally, all complete ass except maybe 2. That endgame HAS to go or the game is fucked.

A lot of you said you like the campaign, I definitely did not. I despise back-tracking and hunting and pecking through maps. Maybe I am just jaded from knowing every layout in PoE1 by heart (except you, Ancient City, you prick), but I found the campaign maps too sprawling and drawn out. I've done it twice and will not do it again until there is a major update.

They had the right idea the first time. New campaign, new gem system, new classes all feeding in to the same shared endgame.

They should honestly go back to the old atlas tree and system and completely scrap that god awful new map they have now or make it a side progression thing that progresses faster then it does now. If they just did that alone the game would be 10x better.

Also why are we still having to physically slot things into shit to have to craft/map whatever. Playing torchlight is so nice cause they have all this QoL built into all their systems it doesn't feel cumbersome to have to do something. Currency is automatically picked up and is used at the interface for the item/map/boss. Another thing they don't hold hostage is inventory, every slot is normalized and you get like 30 of them and you just disenchant shit right in your inventory. No playing fucking tetris constantly while you pick up ungodly amounts of bullshit. Just pick up loot that drops ID'd and curate your filter to it. Pure loot.

When is Last Epoch S2?

Another thing I noticed TLI has that I've been asking for years is colored affixes so you can see at a glance what items are good.

Also after mapping for a while and you have a full inventory (because it'll take multiple maps to fill it up, crazy right?) you can auto sort it. Imagine this rare and elusive tech that every other ARPG seems to have.

Its too bad they're jewy little rangs and nickle and dime you as hard as any other rangy gatcha.

I got out of PoE 2 very early. I do not get the atlas building deal at all. Of course I'm not playing it just seemed like a stretch to combine the two things. Dumb me thoughe PoE 2 would have been a new engine, better graphics and more optimized, remove a lot of the bloat, remove some funky shit that has been in PoE 1 forever and polish up a lot of things and maybe add "some" stuff. Dumb me.

Did they remove the well or is that still in game, that seemed like someone stole code from Diablo and that is how it got there.

Bought two Invitations to the King. Found my way through the stupid maze this time. Did +0 and +1 version and he dropped the belt.

Was a 40% one so I used a Divine Orbs on it and it hit 79% on the first try. So a nice 14 Div gain on those two runs.

Any of you finished a Similacrum? Tried one for the first time and got nuked at wave 10 or so. No Atlas points.

So Simulacrum is pretty fucking hard. Tried for the first time today and around wave 11 the area to fight in was like 20 square feet with wave after wave of dudes piling out. Dead, but at least I just made 94 so exp loss wasn't as painful.

I feel like 12+ years of being a good dev team has warranted them some good will. Johnathan is just being honest and I think they just got overwhelmed. They can’t hire their way out of this , as the talent pool for quality game coders/designers is astonishingly low. It’s just gonna take time

not to mention they don't hire remotely anymore, you have to live/move to New Zealand. The pool for that has to be a few dozen, not even a few hundred.

Their main issue is the indigenous population, they won't be able to get rid of the woke no matter what they do now.

Luckily I think we can slaughter them again in Act 4.

What I really wanted to hear at the end of that video was that Jonathan recognizes how the sequence of decisions he made, while each being reasonable in the moment, brought Path of Exile to where it stands now and that it would never again be expected for the players of that game to wait a year for a content update. As it stands it's clear that PoE1 will be expected to make major, long term sacrifices with no abatement.

Why are you waiting? Play something else, come back in 4 months or however long it takes.

If you were paying a sub I would understand, I've done my fair share of complaining about WoW, but you aren't.

So far Chris is 0/2 with me. Poe2 lost me midway through cruel.

FF14 is not even close to the best FF story and has objectively the worst gameplay of any FF (though it’s ok for an MMO).
